Into the Darkness (Pt II)
 
”So I see you are awake”
“Please don’t try to struggle you are quite secure”
“Also please don’t scream it gives me a headache and the walls are soundproofed”
“You see if you lie still it will soon all be over forever”
 
“Yes I know it hurts that’s the purpose of it”
“No I can’t untie your arms, just imagine what you could do to me if I did”
“Look if you keep screaming and trying to bite me I’m going to have to gag you again”
 
“Now what did that achieve?”
“Look all you are doing is cutting your wrists on the leather”
“I would rather you didn’t mark the leather it’s expensive”
“Look you either keep your arms still or I will cut them off right now”
 
“That’s better, see you can behave when you try”
“Now you are such a pretty thing seems almost a pity”
“No not that much of a pity, nice try”
“Why am I doing this? Because you have been bad”
 
“Yes so very bad and bad people get punished”
“What did you do?”
“You don’t know?”
“Well gracious me that make it even worse for you”
 
“Well I was going to be lenient with you my dear”
“Since you have no idea what you have done, well it’s going worse for you”
“I am terribly afraid that this is going to hurt rather a lot”
“What did I tell you about screaming?”
 
“Look you brought that on yourself”
“See the mess you have made?”
“Oh dear now I am going to have to get a bucket and a mop”
“Cant have the place looking untidy what would the neighbours think?”
 
“There that’s better isn’t it?”
“Now how did that come loose?”
“That wasn’t very clever was it?”
“I warned you before”
 
“Right now you won’t do that again will you?”
“If you do I will take the other one as well”
“You better not try and kick me either”
“Because you know what the consequences are”
 
“How am I supposed to think with you screaming?”
“I ask you, some people have no consideration”
“There are people trying to sleep next door it’s late”
“Now where is that confounded bucket?”
 
“Right you didn’t need that anyway”
“At least I don’t have to listen to you complain anymore”
“It’s no use lying there flapping your jaw up and down either”
“I can’t HEAR you”
 
“What was that you said?”
“Oh this? It’s ok you won’t need it anymore”
“See how easily it came out”
“None of you amateur work here my dear”
 
“Yes a true craftsman in trade”
“From a boy to a man a butcher by trade”
“Always keep the finest cuts for the best pies”
 
“Oh no my dear I am sorry you cannot taste my fine pies”
“How can you taste them now anyway my dear?”
“Well it’s meat and kidney pies today”
“You guessed it, you really are clever”
 
“Oh yes its fine and healthy see the lovely colour it is”
“What you don’t want to see?”
“Don’t you want to join in?”
“Well if you are going to be like that”
 
“How many times you don’t need it anymore”
“Now look you are bleeding all over the floor again”
“I really have no sympathy if you are going to keep making a mess”
“Look now I’ve dropped a finger in the bucket hope you washed your hands”
 
“My you have gone quiet my dear”
“Cat got your tongue?”
“Sorry just my little joke to lighten the mood”
“Well I thought it was funny”
 
“Right now here’s the last bit coming out now”
“Oh yes lovely and fresh meat”
“The customers will be so pleased with them this week”
“You got nothing to say my dear?”
 
“Oh dear just when we were getting on so well”
“It’s always the same they never seem to last these days”
“I always thought the young ones had more life in them”
“Right best fire up the baking oven and roll the pastry out”
 
“Sleep well my dear I’m going to make you famous”

What a clever exchange of dialogue! Very readable though intense. Do you see the "bad man" as the underdog perhaps?

Thank you Anna for your kind words.

In a way I do see the "bad man" as the underdog but then I always want the monster to win in horror movies as well........

Probably says something deep and meaningful that my therapist needs to examine. :)

Peace

Boneman

Well, well - Now I see what you were doing today. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can't find a thing wrong with it. In fact, I loved it! I have this thing I do when I'm really into what I'm reading - I subconsciously pull my shirt collar over my mouth. (Strange I know.) I was doing that though. This is brilliant! You amaze me with your talent. I could go on and on, but it would probably be rude to take up so much of your space. Fantastic job!

Lacey, what can I say? Apart from thank you..........

I tend to chew my fingers on my left hand when I'm really into something I'm reading. Probably better to play with my collar instead tho.....

You guessed my job as well ! Fancy a meat pie and some fries?

Please continue I have bags of space :)

peace

Boneman

I like this one better than the first. This one has all the same sinisterness, but it's laced with all that wicked humor. Honestly, you are simply amzing.

I thank you Dragonfly for your very kind words.

As I stated elsewhere my sense of humour is not so much warped and totally bent and twisted. Maybe too much Monty Python and League of Gentleman in my formative years.

Peace

Boneman

OH, I agree with LC - this is so great. It's sort of chilling the way he is so matter of fact. I see the genius...

Thank you buttercup for your kind comment.

I see "The Cane Man" as a complete psychotic his "work" is so mundane and he sees nothing wrong in what he does.

Peace

Boneman

Thank you to everyone for making this story No. 1 !!!! I appreciate it very much.

Peace

Boneman

Thank you for your kind comments Snow.

I only chew my left hand fingers cos I cant feel anything in the tips from guitar playing. As is said I have my fingers in many pies.

Your friend
